The Imm ediate Erect.

The interstate commerce law, which
was generally supposed to have gone Into
effect on the first day OF April, did not in
reality begin 10 operate until April 8,
sixty davs from the date on which the bill
was signed by the president.
Two points present themselves as more
salient than all others in their Importance
to railway patrons, and it may be wise at
the outset to direct public attention to
their careful consideration.
The first OF these is the fact that the law
calls for the public posting of official
rates. Let shippers and travellers see to it
that the official schedules of rates are
placed in full view at every railroad
station. A liberal Interpretation of the
law would secure an exhibition or post.
ing of such schedules at some place that
can be easily reached by the people, and
where the whole tariff sheet can be ex.
amined and read. These rates are alike
for all Shippers, under like conditions
where the shipments are to be made
in the same direction. There can be no
discrimination in favor of anybody
whether friendly or unfriendly to the
managers and agents. The rates are to
be maintained for fixed period, and are
not subject to change at the whim of
freight agents or other officers. There
are to be no more special rates for pre-
fcrred shippers, and no rebates for any
patron, no matter how extensive may be
his business or influence.
The second great point of Interstate
regulation concerns competition by par
allel lines and other roads that heretofore
have pooled their earnings. The law
prohibits the pooling OF both earnings
| and freights. The railroads may main.
tain the same rates to competitive points,
| but, having no share in each others busi'
ness, they will naturally become active
and independent solicitors for traffic Of
every point where two or more roads
cross or terminate.
| With publicity of rates, and with pools
broken up the worst abuses of the present
railway system will in II great measure
disappear.
1t remains to be seen whether or no
these two vital reforms, which do not de
pend Oh the interstate commission il
any particular, will be lived up to il
good faith by the railroads.

THE special event Of yesterday was the
visit Of the Hon. John Lawrence Sullivan,
pf Boston, to the Hon. Grover Cleveland.
The Boston gentleman was introduced by
the Hon. Pat Sheedy, of Chicago, and the
two distinguished champions of demo-
cracy and pugilism greeted each other
with cordial grasp Of the hand. The
too brief dispatch which records the
meeting Of these celebrated citizens of
the republic. supplies few of the details
Of the interesting occasion. The enter.
tanning fact is noted, however, that the
Hon. Pat Sheedy, with the happy concep-
ton of fitness which distinguishes him,
remarked to the Hon. Grover Cleveland
that il he desired to reduce his adipose
tissue, the Hon. John Lawrence Sullivan
would take pleasure in assisting him to
that result. The friendly offer was of
course declined. Shortly thereafter these
emnent representatives of democracy
and pugilism, with expressions of con-
Anued qualification ut having met, sepa.
rated. Ii WAS indeed a memorable occa.
ai0n.

We hope and believe these signs may be
trustworthy. One strong reason for this
belief lies in the fact that the taxes pour.
ing into the treasury come from luAuries
consumed in the east, thus reducing the
eastern currency, while the outflow of
money from the east, such as the Rock
Islands six millions, must come directly
through our city. Money, when 1t shall
grow tight, will necessarily first get
scarce in the regions where the most
luxurles are bought and the most cur.
rency added to the hoard of taxes, which
must now rapidly grow larger.

The commission authorized by con.
gress to investigate the affairs of the Pa
citic railroads, and which is to be ap-
pointed by the president, will have all it
can do to carry out the requirements of
the act creating it and have ready its re.
port by the time congress assemblies, next
December. Every days delay in the ap.
pointment of the commission therefore
increases the danger that 1t may not have
time enough in which to thoroughly per-
form the arduous task, and that it will be
found necessary to extend the period of
its investigation. This would be entirely
satisfactory to the corporations, which
will undoubtedly put every obstacle
they can IN the way of the inquiry. If the
report of the commission can be post
pened year If will be valuabI gain of
time to the railroads. Therefore, while
the president is to be commented for eX-
ercising great care in selecting the COM
missioners, who must be men of superior
ability and unquestionable integrity, it
is seen that he may by n too extended
delay of the appointments defeat one of
the chief objects of the law, which was to
supply congress with official information
regarding the affairs of the roads at the
earliest time practicable, and thus I'm

such cases political influence could be
brought to bear to make the experiments
more or less at public expense. Gcner-
ally. these attempts have failed. Now,
however, the problem seems TO approach
solution. The idea of substituting oil for
coal has already been seized as weapon
with which to secure longer hours of
labor from wage workers IN the gas
works at Chicago. The employers there
threaten tnat, unless the 500 men concede
twelve hours, 450 of them will be dis.
charged and oil-burning apparatus put
in operation. Now, if oil prove cheaper
than COAL it will be used anyway; the
labor question ought not to be lugged in
